Muslim faithful in the town of Tougan prayed on Sunday, June 16, 2024 in Tougan, for the return of peace and security in the province and throughout the country.
It is the great mosque of Tougan, in the province which welcomed the Muslim faithful on Sunday June 16, 2024 for the Tabaski 2024 prayer or the sheep festival. This prayer was marked by desires for the return of peace and security to Burkina Faso.
For the representative of the Muslim community, El Hadj Mohamed Traoré, Tabaski is a great prayer for the Muslim faithful and the immolation of the sheep on the day of Eid El Kebir is very symbolic.
He praised the efforts of the authorities and the fighting forces (FDS and VDP) in the reconquest of the national territory. El hadj Traoré also hoped for good rainfall and the return of internally displaced persons (IDPs) to their respective localities.
The high commissioner of the province, Désiré Badolo, accompanied by a large delegation, went to show his solidarity with Muslims at the great mosque in th
e town of Tougan.
‘We came this morning to demonstrate closeness and fraternity and to be in union of prayer with our brothers in the Muslim community,’ he confided.
Badolo invited the Muslim faithful to celebrate in sobriety, taking into account the particular context experienced by the country in general and the province of Sourou in particular.
‘I express the hope that these prayers for peace and security said on this day can be favorably received by Allah the Almighty, so that the actions of reconquest of the territory and security can be effective,’ added the High Commissioner of the Sourou.
He also hoped that the next Tabaski, internally displaced persons (IDPs) would be able to return to their localities of origin and a good 2024-2025 wet season for all farmers.
